The riddle of how fisheries influence genetic diversity
Overfishing drives population decline, which in turn drives loss of genetic diversity. Many
studies provide evidence of declines in genetic diversity; however, controversy exists within …

Genome-wide genetic diversity may help identify fine-scale genetic structure among lake whitefish spawning groups in Lake Erie
Abstract In Lake Erie, lake whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis supported lucrative fisheries
before populations were decimated by overfishing and water quality degradation. In recent …

Contrasting energy pathways suggest differing susceptibility of pelagic fishes to an invasive ecosystem engineer in a large lake system
Species invasions can lead to ecological regime shifts by altering food web structure and
changing nutrient cycling. Stable isotopes are a powerful tool to understand the potential …

Patterns of dietary niche breadth and overlap are maintained for two closely related carnivores across broad geographic scales
Ecological studies investigating niche breadth and overlap often have limited spatial and
temporal scale, preventing generalizations across varying environments and communities …

A potential trophic role for Trout-perch (Percopsis omiscomaycus) in coupling nearshore and offshore lake food webs
Trout-perch (Percopsis omiscomaycus) is an abundant, small-bodied, benthic fish species
often found in deeper regions of large lake ecosystems. Historical evidence suggests that …
